Lost Chicken
Having been entrusted with looking after my near neighbour’s 6 chicken for a few days….one escaped yesterday evening.
It is light brown in colour and answers to the name of Buff Orpington.
I would be grateful for news of any sitings, preferably before the neighbour returns……

Drone Usage in Kingscote
Following a number of complaints from villagers about a drone flying fairly low and close to people and property in the village, please see the information below:
Small unmanned aircraft (irrespective of their mass) that are being used for surveillance purposes are subject to tighter restrictions with regard to the minimum distances that you can fly near people or properties that are not under your control. If you wish to fly within these minima, permission is required from the CAA before operations are commenced.
CAA permission is also required for all flights that are being conducted for aerial work (i.e. in very simple terms, you are getting paid for doing it).
The ‘remote pilot’ has the responsibility for satisfying him/herself that the flight can be conducted safely.
The aircraft must not be flown:
- over or within 150 metres of any congested area
- over or within 150 metres of an organised open-air assembly of more than 1,000 persons;
- within 50 metres of any vessel, vehicle or structure which is not under the control of the person in charge of the aircraft
- within 50 metres of any person except during take-off or landing, the aircraft must not be flown within 30 metres of any person except for the person in charge of the aircraft.

Lost Burmese Cat – Bagpath
Our cat Samson (brown Burmese one) has been missing now for 24 hours. We were away last night but were told he didn’t come back at all and we haven’t seen him this morning.
I’d be really grateful if you could check closed sheds and garages if you get a chance today. He’s a nosy fellow and can get in places he shouldn’t.
Thanks.

Mobile Post Office
Please find attached details of the public consultation about a mobile post office van in Kingscote, for information. Up to now details have been in commercial confidence so this has missed the deadline to be included within Forerunner.
Posters have been put up on the village noticeboards.
Works are going ahead for planning and to facilitate the van in the car park at the village hall, so there is no reason to suppose it won’t happen, as long as there are no objections.
Kind regards
Pauline McTear
